Three Very Tiny Birds..5 images

These were all taken in the last few days with the 30D and 400 F5.6. The 580EX was used for flash fill in all shots. The first 3 images are of a Ruby Crowned Kinglet and it comes in at 10 CM .. The Brown Creeper also comes in at 10CM. Both these species rarely stop moving and are a challenge to photograph. The Chipping Sparrow is also quite tiny and I belivee it is the smallest of the sparrows...much easier to photograph All were photographed in my yard with the Creeper being a first for the yard.

Fine set of shots Gary. Those pose in the third shot makes it my favorite. The entire series is well done!

Very nice series.

Really nice series Gary

Nice visitors you have there, Gary. And you did an awesome job taking photos of them.

Awesome job Gary;

What a backyard oasis you have...

Ruby-Crowned front facing image is my favorite for the flash of red (Ruby) on the head.

Great catch on the Creeper Gary. And in the yard. But, #3 wins me over, just cause he's so cute.

Nice shots Gary! I like them all but the sporrow is my fav.

Lovely shots!

Very nice Gary, particularly the Kinglets.

Great shots, I like #2 due to the angle, but #3 has a lot of attitude. Sometimes what we find in our yards in better then traveling miles.

All wonderful shots, Gary. #2 should be a poster.

All great shots, Gary. I really like the chipping sparrow. His stance makes him look like king of the yard.

Thanks for looking and for the feedback to Keith, rocklyons, Gary, Fee, Ted, Mitch, Grizz, Sys, Stephen, bluedrakon, Joe and Shirley

Amazing set of shots, I love them. Am very jealous
